ActiveWin.com: Microsoft Expression Web - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 08:17 EST/13:17 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Byron has reviewed Microsoft Expression web. Here is an excerpt: I have to say that I have been a fan of Microsoft's FrontPage web designer program since it first got developed many years ago, I found Dreamweaver slightly too in-depth for my older design, but the more the years past the more I started to make better use of the advanced features Dreamweaver had to offer while FrontPage seemed to remain stagnant. Well finally we have a newer version of FrontPage with a brand new name, oh wait I'm not supposed to call this a new version of FrontPage am I, well that's what it is so I'll be comparing the differences anyway. | ||

Excellent review.
I wish you had time to mention the importance of the split in dev tools where SharePoint Services and SharePoint Designer branch off of FP/Expression as a purpose built tool and how SP Designer is used to support lightweight dev for SPS. Have you used that product and do you plan to write a review on it? They make good companions, but are certainly different. Thank you, L |

| Does this require server-end extensions like the old FrontPage did? |

#3, Do you mean SharePoint Team Services [v 1 of SP, called STS1], or did you mean the differences in SharePoint Designer apart from Expression Web?
#2, No, FPSE are not needed. For one, Expression Web can't open an SPS site. SharePoint Designer [SPD], can and was specifically designed to allow rapid, lightweght development of SPS v2 and v3 sites with built in tools to create and manage sites, and web parts. For example, there are now some forty (40) pre-built SPS Applications Templates for Admin, and Sites and SPD allows one to leverage these. Please see, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/sharepoint/wssapps/templates/default.mspx and , http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/default.aspx?ofcresset=1 **Some of my favorite work in SPS is to port SQL Reporting Services [SSRS] as a web part into an SPS V2/V3 site for users - going the other way, once created, we use a native control for SSRS in VS 2005 to create a Reporting Center in Expression Web - enabling non-technical customer site admins to schedule the delivery of reports in SPS sites and baking advanced reports into other apps that are designed using Expression Web. ***Just an example of how the two suites can be sued together and in ways that do not tie up other devs working in VS 2005 [also, using VS Team System] all these people can work together at once - and then finally, the end users have a lot of control and can see business processes in a very easy to use, yet powerful set of non-linear reporting products in both apps and collaboration spaces. And a final P.S., on this one, the presence token in SPS, and as a control available for any VS project is waayyy cool and useful - it shows who is where, and what their availability is and when used with either Live Messenger, or Office Communicator, it can be really helpful.

Thanks for the comments:
#2 & 3 - Iketchum has answered both of those questions for you guys! #1 - I've used SharePoint Designer although I was not planning on reviewing it at the moment. Cheers |

| #4 Great memory you have, and good tips to share. The only thing I recall from last week's Share Point seminar was that Windows Mobile 6 works with SPS 3. Shows where my head was at. |

#7: I'm sure they'll get right on that. Or you could use some software to block that crap. Firefox with AdBlock+ does a great job of nuking all the annoying ads at the top here. I leave the ones on the left side as they aren't that obnoxious.

" No, FPSE are not needed. "
That's a good start. Now, about that price.... TL |

#9, We paid 89.00 bucks for the upgrade versions - a couple of weeks later, MS reversed course and added Web Expression and the Expression Suite back to MSDN Universal - good for some, and bad for guys like me that bought copies for the web devs that use Expression.
